Meet the Suidlanders: South Africa’s white nationalists prepping for a genocide doomsday in the rainbow nation
The Suidlanders, a white nationalist group in South Africa, are preparing for what they believe is an imminent genocide against white farmers. Led by Gustav Muller, they have garnered attention from figures like Donald Trump and have connections with controversial figures such as Richard Spencer and David Duke. The group insists they are a civil defense organization, preparing to flee and defend themselves if necessary. They are concerned about land expropriation policies and violent rhetoric from political parties like the Economic Freedom Fighters. Despite their preparations, the South African government attributes farm murders to the country's high crime rate, not a targeted genocide.

Anonymous reveals the coordinates of Ku Klux Klan members
Anonymous has begun revealing the identities of alleged Ku Klux Klan members as part of their #OpKKK campaign. On November 2, 2015, they released phone numbers and email addresses of supposed KKK members, with more disclosures promised. This action follows a year after the non-indictment of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The data released is said to come from the KKK's database, though not all entries are confirmed members. Anonymous aims to increase transparency and combat the KKK's intimidation tactics.

How the Ku Klux Klan Helped Republicans Win Voters in the US South
A study by academics from Yale, Brandeis, and Notre Dame universities reveals the lasting impact of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) on Republican voter numbers in the US South, highlighting how KKK activity in the 1960s shifted political allegiances from Democratic to Republican. The research suggests that radical social movements can influence mainstream political agendas, with historical effects enduring over time. The study also examines the role of 'dissonance reduction' and 'takeoff issues' in shaping political views. Mark Potok from the Southern Poverty Law Center notes the counterintuitive voting trends in the South, where extremist rhetoric has lasting impacts. The article discusses the broader implications of racial issues and protests, such as those in Ferguson and Staten Island, on political sentiment and the potential rise of right-wing Republicanism in response to demographic changes.

Rosedale: 100 Years The downfall of 'Fighting Joe' Cauffiel
Joseph Cauffiel, Johnstown's mayor and magistrate, was known for his harsh treatment of Black individuals, including a staged execution of two Black juveniles. His notoriety peaked with a banishment order against Black and Mexican residents in 1923, which drew national criticism and an investigation by Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot. Despite his defense of the order as a safety measure, the move was seen as politically motivated, coinciding with the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and racial tensions. Cauffiel's subsequent election loss and a corruption scandal involving payments from a gambling house operator led to his conviction and imprisonment. He was pardoned due to ill health and died of bladder cancer in 1932. His story reflects the broader societal issues of the time, including the Klan's influence and the struggle for civil rights.

Over 3 Million People Sign Petitions Urging U.S. Government to Declare KKK a Terrorist Group
Over three million people have signed petitions on Change.org calling for the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to be declared a terrorist organization. The petitions gained momentum following President Donald Trump's statements on ANTIFA. The KKK, known for its history of violence and persecution against African Americans and other groups, cannot be designated a terrorist group under U.S. State Department guidelines as it is not a foreign organization. However, if classified as a domestic terrorism group, it would fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti Defamation League did not respond to requests for comment.
